Willerson Sends Steinberg to the Rail

It was folded around to Neil Willerson in the small blind, who completed. Max Steinberg checked his option for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Willerson checked to Steinberg, who fired 20,000 into the middle. Willerson responded by check-raising to 125,000 - which was just under Steinberg's remaining stack of 170,000. Steinberg thought it over before pushing all in and Willerson snap-called to put Steinberg at risk.

Steinberg: {A-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a pair of aces.
Willerson: {K-Hearts}{8-Spades} for two-pair.

The {J-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river kept Willerson in the lead and Steinberg was sent to the rail.

Willerson is up to 750,000 as a result of the knockout.
